Nigeria gained her natural resources, including coal as a large incentive from colonial rule, with other large deposits of minerals hidden beneath her soils around the nation. Today, coal is known and recorded as one of the strategic minerals deposited in many states in Nigeria in large quantities, which started trading far back as 1902 as an essential commodity.
He has been a resource person on several occasions to the Geological Survey of Nigeria Agency on the review of different segments of the geological map of Nigeria. He is also a member of the Steering Committee and Assessor of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) Annual Research Grants Competition programme and resource person in the Peer Review of the PTDF Professorial
· Nigeria has major unexploited coal resources. The government has recently placed a high priority on utilising these resources to increase Nigeria''s electricity generating capacity. Nigeria''s goal is to revitalise the coal mining industry and expand power generation by attracting companies to develop these large coal resources and construct coalfired generating plants that will connect to
The coal deposits discovered so far in Nigeria are located mainly in the Lower, Middle and Upper Benue Trough. The coal deposits of the Anambra Basin in the Lower Benue Trough, located in southeastern Nigeria contain the largest and most economically viable coal resources. In the Lower Benue Trough, lignite and subbituminous coals occur within the Mamu Formation (Middle Campanian – Late
Nigeria is one of the countries of the Guinea coast with industrial deposits of coal. It was found in the early twentieth century. Coal quality is quite high: the average content of ash is 10%, moisture 9%, sulfur less than 1 %. The largest deposits: Enugu (95,1 million tons), Ogboyaga (of million tons), Okaba ( million tons), and Orukpa (57 million tons).
The coalresource geologic map (Fig. 4) shows where the coal occurs at land surface (coal crop lines) and depicts areas of known mining. Similar resource maps exist for the other 10 commercial coals in the quadrangle. Figure 2 (top): [1]The bedrock geologic map distinguishes between the surface areas underlain by economic coals and those that are not. [2] Structure contours show the amount and

This book provides a detailed description of Nigeria''s geology and mineral resources with the aim of promoting sustainable economic development of Nigeria''s mineral and petroleum sectors. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses the geology of the crystalline rocks and their regional distribution while the sedimentary basins constitute the subject of Part 2. Part 3 presents
The coal deposits of the Anambra Basin in the Lower Benue Trough, located in southeastern Nigeria contain the largest and most economically viable coal resources. In the Lower Benue Trough, lignite and subbituminous coals occur within the Mamu Formation (Middle Campanian – Late Maastrichtian). Highvolatile bituminous coals are found within the Awgu Formation (Middle Turonian – Early

The geology of Nigeria formed beginning in the Archean and Proterozoic eons of the Precambrian. The country forms the Nigerian Province and more than half of its surface is igneous and metamorphic crystalline basement rock from the Precambrian. Between billion and 500 million years ago, Nigeria was affected by three major orogeny mountainbuilding events and related igneous intrusions
The original discovery of coal, the popular Nigerian mineral resource, is dated 1909. It was placed in Enugu. The explorers started discovering more coal at the ogubate mine in 1918. According to the research, Nigerian coal holds a high place among the best coals in the world, due to containing a low amount of sulphur and ash. This means the Nigerian coal is ecofriendly. Nigeria has about
Geologic maps provide critical information for coal resource exploration and for planners, regulators, decision makers, and the general public. Defining the Problem Despite Pennsylvania''s long history as a major coal producer, information on the coal geology (Fig. 1), remaining resources, and
Nigeria has a range of world class minerals resources, such as gold, limestone etc. In addition, it has a variety of other occurrences (more than 45) of medium significance albeit important for small scale mining and industrial development. The world class minerals in Nigeria warrants a closer look especially by foreign mining companies.
Contains details on the geological units of Nigeria and the associated mineral resources. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses the geology of the crystalline rocks and their regional distribution while the sedimentary basins constitute the subject of Part 2. Part 3 takes the mineral resources of Nigeria one on one, their geological environment, mode of occurrence, localities
Moreover, Nigeria does not have local sources of easily extractable coking coal which will necessitate importation at an annual cost of 200 million dollars (USD). The available sources of good

The geology of Niger comprises very ancient igneous and metamorphic crystalline basement rocks in the west, Natural resource geology. Mined uranium is Niger''s biggest export, but mining remains a relatively small part of GDP. The country also has gold and coal and deposits of tin and phosphate were mined in the past. Uranium is extracted from two concessions at Arlit and Akouta, more than
